Belize District, Administrative district in Belize, Central America.
Belize District encompasses 4,204 square kilometers of land, including coastal areas, multiple islands, and the main urban center of Belize City.
The district emerged from colonial times as the primary administrative region, maintaining its position after Belize gained independence from British rule in 1981.
The district combines Creole, Maya, Mestizo, and Garifuna traditions through local markets, festivals, traditional music performances, and culinary practices.
Regular water taxis connect mainland Belize District with offshore destinations like Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye through multiple daily departures.
The Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary within the district provides nesting grounds for thousands of migrating birds across 16,400 acres of wetlands.
